Should HIV-positive mothers breast-feed?
Abstract:
Between five and 10 per cent of HIV infection is acquired perinatally. The incidence of such infection will rise as more women get infected. Children with HIV progress to AIDS-related illness more rapidly than do adults. Hence, the prevention or reduction of perinatal transmission rates is an essential component of the AIDS control programme.
